What's on this website for parents and carers?

Much of the information in this  Living with autism section is aimed at parents and is full of practical advice, ideas and further contacts. A  wide range of support services is also available and with  100 local branches currently running, you should be able to find other people you can make contact with in your area, or you may just want to talk to another parent on the telephone .
